Unions join against Aramark
Published Jun 29, 2008 10:20 PM
Hundreds of food service workers rallied in front of the Boston Convention
and Exhibition Center on June 23 as part of a three-day strike against Aramark
Corp. The workers also picketed the Hynes Convention Center. The Aramark
workers are members of Local 26 of UNITE/HERE but have been working without a
contract since October. They struck June 21-23 and have called for a boycott of
Aramark food services within the convention centers. They say that Aramark has
harassed and intimidated union members and fired workers for union activity,
including members of the negotiating committee. USW Local 8751 of the Boston
School Bus Drivers’ Union, also fighting a contract battle, participated
in the action in solidarity with the food service workers.
